Is the friend in Brazil or somewhere else but iriginally from Brazil?

 

Check the currency and monetary restrictions to the destination country; not all countries accept incoming funds.

I don't think Brazil accepts incoming funds.

 

You could check the forum for Brazil funds; it think it's already been discussed.

But my friend told me that he gets his money from the US. I don't know what's wrong here.
